Tezumi Matcha Bowl

This is a Hira-gata, or flat-shaped, chawan. The wide, shallow design increases the surface area of the tea, which allows it to cool down faster—an essential feature for enjoying matcha comfortably during hot summer months.

Not at all. The flat base and wide diameter actually provide ample room for your bamboo whisk (chasen) to move freely, making it quite easy to achieve a consistent, frothy suspension.

No, this bowl is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand-washing it gently with mild soap and warm water to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the delicate floral glaze.

The bowl holds 300ml (10.14 ounces). While that is plenty for a standard serving of matcha, the shallow design means you should be mindful of your whisking technique to avoid splashing.

While it is specifically optimized for summer due to its cooling properties, there is no reason you cannot use it year-round. However, keep in mind that your tea will lose heat much faster in this vessel than in a deeper, more insulated bowl.
